Argentina bound? Not me, but my artwork will be. I wish I could make the trip.

I was notified this week that one of my video art works will be included in the Festival Internacional de Videoarte (FIVA) in Buenos Aires. The festival runs from December 15 to December 17th at the Centro Cultural San Martin.

This will be the first time that my work has screened in Argentina. Check it out if you're in the Beunos Aires area.

Please join me at the Tucson Museum of Art on the evening of May 4th. Admission is free between 5PM and 8PM and I'll be performing somewhere in the neighborhood of 6:30.

I'll be performing works from three different bodies of work:

The Verisimilitude PlatitudesThe Black Tongue LexiconSupralingual/Sublingual: The Tongue is the Terrain

Additionally, as part of the Museum's TMA Handmade series, the TMA invited me to select some work from their permanent collection for display.

I chose some beautiful Josef Albers silkscreen prints from the Formulation: Articulation Portfolio from 1972 that have never been exhibited at the Museum before. They're delightfully crisp and 100% Bauhaus-licious. They're on view as of today.

"The Arte Laguna Prize is exhibiting 125 works from around the world, the finalists of the eleventh edition of the contest, which give us a glimpse into the current state of international contemporary art.

I’m thrilled to announce that I am a finalist for the 2017 Arte Laguna Prize. My work will be exhibited at the Arsenale in Venice from March 25th until April 9th. I am traveling now, so the announcement had been sitting in my inbox and I didn’t even know it. Whether I take home a prize or not, I am flattered to have been selected. I'll know more later and will keep you updated.

I am overdue to release my latest EP documenting the soundtrack to my recent performance artworks. There's a reason for that. I've opted to make it a full length album because the material kept coming. That's good. And fun. In the meantime, I've got to keep my production skill set sharp, so I tinker...

Brooklyn project, Computer Magic, released her album Davos earlier this year. The first single, Fuzz, is a spectacular synth-a-licious journey. You can buy Davos on iTunes.

Gallery Project's Wish List exhibition opened last night. An old artist pal of mine, Anthony Fontana, attended the opening last night and texted me this image. My work, Horizon Pull (Draw a Line So Long It Can't Be Wrong II), is the projected video in the center of the photograph. Check it out if you can. If you don't catch it in Toledo, the exhibit will also be showing at the Ann Arbor Art Center later in the year.

In a passage covering the Ortega y Gasset Projects booth they wrote, "For this project sound artist Joshua Bienko invited 16 artists to produce what appear to be genre-specific riffs for his album Always Already Here. This is the kind of project for which I set my expectations low, not just because there are so many bad tracks produced by artists but because it’s so hard to pull off. This, though, succeeds as art and music. Filled with catchy tunes in a range of styles—eighties girl bands, hip hop, banjo music—most of these riffs joke about anything from art to cats to children. Gary Setzer produces a Gary Numan-type track called Generatorin which he sings about the emotional life of an artist. “I have anxiety…What is this that I have made? I have not made anything!” he laments against the bubbly notes of his keyboard."

Those of you that know me, will know that the Gary Numan comparison made my day.

The Brooklyn artspace, Ortega y Gasset Projects, will have a booth at ARTSCAPE, Baltimore's Artist Run Art Fair (July 17 - 19th). Numerous sound works, including two of my own, will be featured there. The works will also be for sale on a limited edition cassette called Always Already Here, Vol. 1, produced by fellow artist and musician, Joshua Bienko. The cassette contains sound works by numerous artists including Bienko, Mel Chin, and many others.
